thirty Guinea hens. They ate up neigh

them. The jury said he did rightly, as
they had eaten their own heads Off," as i,

nails are 81 per keg, we can't recommend

result, with a stream of cold water to cool
the valley during the summer. There is
nothing to fear from the new plans pro-
posed by Chicago, and much to be gained
through it,
But there is an immediate danger from
Chicago sewage which does menace the
entire valley from Joliet to Ottawa and
one that should be taken in hand by the
people at once; and that is the proposed
abandonment of the Kankakee feeder, and
the feeding of the canal levels ffom Joliet

Joliet, which means Chicago sewage as

Joliet to Marseilles-Chicago sewage to

10 the Shannahon locks and west to Morris.
The aqueduct for carrying the feeder over
the Illinois river has become very much
out of repair; indeed 1t Is just about
ready to tumble to pieces. 1t will cost
probably $4,000 to rebuild 1t. The dam
at Wilmington is also badly in need of re.

these repairs. On the contrary, every In.
